Steve Kons has put a lot of thought into the renovation and refurbishment of the hotel over the last ten years to make it both aesthetically pleasing and very comfortable. From many years of experiencing hotels and motels while travelling, Steve knows just what should be included in a good hotel room. Attention to detail is evident in each of the large rooms as well as right throughout the whole building, where sleek and modern design combines with old original touches.

Restored Ikon Hotel

The Ikon Hotel has a 100-year history in Burnie, and this fine-looking old building with its attractive wrought iron balconies is certainly one of the better examples of fine architecture. If you are a lover of old buildings (like I am) you’d be pleased to know someone has taken the time to preserve this piece of Tasmanian history.

There’s also a very large bathroom stocked with plenty of towels, toiletries and a hair dryer, as well as a spa and/or double shower. The rooms are well heated for the cold months too. For convenience there is a guest laundry service and secure underground offsite parking. The rooms are well set up for entertaining friends or for holding conferences with work colleagues. Although each room has a king-sized bed, some rooms can be made up to cater for families if needed. For added security, a very easy to use swipe card accesses the hotel and rooms.

Dining Options, Gym Access, Business Services

On the ground floor of the building is the Mecca Restaurant, which is casual dining with a varied, good selection menu, and it does take away as well. Very handy if you are too tired to go out for the night. The Ikon Hotel also has charge back arrangements with some of the other restaurants and cafes in Burnie. Access to one of the local gyms is provided, as well as business services including printing, faxing and photocopying.

We had a delightful stay at the Ikon Hotel and found the staff to be very helpful and friendly. Manager Tracy couldn’t do enough for us and she was very helpful and knowledgeable on any queries we had about the hotel, Burnie and the surrounding area. The room was fabulous with its fresh new look and everything we needed was supplied. We felt relaxed and refreshed after a good night’s sleep on the wonderful king sized bed with the fantastic Tempur mattress.

Wonderfully stylish: Ikon Hotel, Burnie

The rest of the hotel also had a relaxed atmosphere about it with comfortable Italian leather chairs in the foyers and marvellous old poster artworks displayed on each level. All of the 12 spacious and contemporary apartments are just the thing for couples or corporate guests wanting a bit extra in a hotel room. The Ikon Hotel is certainly the place to stay if you desire a mix of stylish modern accommodation with a comfortable feel in an historic building.

Back in my younger years I once stayed at this hotel it was then called the Club Hotel and it was in a more original state. I do have a query – I remember a building of deep rich brick colour, please tell me that it hasn’t been painted? There are not many buildings left that used this coloured brick and it is such a beautiful colouring – you don’t see it around anymore which is such a shame for I feel it hasn’t been manufactured for years. I am pleased to hear Mr Cons is doing restoration, these iconic buildings need to be preserved.
